7 month old Ava...

This little angel of mine is now 7 months old and growing fast!  I must admit in the first few months of her life I thought, "Can you please be 3 months already?"  as I was told that was the magical month for a colic baby to turn over a new leaf.  Well it was.  Her first 3 months are a blur really.  But now I need things to slow down a bit just so I can enjoy and remember her at such a young age.  So without further adieu here is "the list"


1.  My little Ava is a feisty girl!  She grabs and plays with things so intently.

2.  She will definitely tell you when she is not happy by yelling and screaming at you.

3.  She loves her brother to death and will mangle his hair and face for as long as he'll let her.  (Which is usually about 30 seconds at a time until he gets absolutely fed up with her.)

4. She is such a mamma's girl!  You read that right...MAMMA.

5.  Ava now reaches out her little arms to embrace you!

6.  Her favorite thing to do is kick.  She kicks while changing her diaper, eating, watching Einstein videos, watching her brother play,  doing tummy time, etc...

7.  She hates green beans and will gag with every bite (I probably only get a quarter of the way down the container before I feel bad and stop).  But she'll eat everything else.

8.  She is now starting to eat table foods.  Bread mostly.  It's so fun to watch her expressions as she tries to figure out how to eat it and what it is.

9.  She LOVES to be held and cuddled!

10.  Oh does she LOVE taggies!  She will find the tag in a pile of toys and start to suck on it.  Her new fav thing is her taggie blanky.

11.  SHE GOES TO SLEEP ON HER OWN!  I feed her a bottle, talk to her for a bit, kiss her goodnight and lay her down.  The rest is all her.

12.  I don't think she wants to crawl.  When I put her down for tummy time she either rolls over, lays down, or cries.  She'll prop herself up for a bit then doesn't want anything to do with it.
